12.0 CHANGES

12.01 Changes in the Work can only be made in writing signed by the identified Project Manager. If the change causes an increase or decrease in the contract sum, or a change in the time for performance under the Contract, an adjustment may be made as determined by the Project Manager.

12.02 The District reserves the right to make changes in the design of materials,

equipment, or machinery, to make alterations or additions to or deviations or subtractions from the Contract and any specifications and drawings, to increase or decrease the required quantity of any item or portion of the Work or to omit any item or portion of the Work, as may be deemed by the Project Manager to be necessary or advisable and to order such extra work as may be determined by the Project Manager to be required for the proper execution and completion of the whole Work contemplated. Any such changes will be ordered in writing by the Project Manager. The determination of the Project Manager on all questions relating to changes, including extra work, shall be conclusive and binding.

12.03 Prior to issuing an amendment or change to the Contract, the Project Manager

may request that the Contractor submit a proposal covering the changes. Within 10 business days of receiving the request, the Contractor shall submit its proposal to the Project Manager of all costs associated with the proposed amendment or change and any request for an extension of Contract time. Contractor’s proposal shall include detailed estimates with cost breakdowns, including labor, material, equipment, overhead, and profit. Labor shall be broken down into hours and rate per hour. If applicable, the proposal shall include a breakdown for off-site labor (including factory labor, engineering, etc.). The Contractor’s proposal shall include an analysis of schedule impact when the Contractor is requesting an adjustment in contract time. The Contractor shall be responsible for any delay associated with its failure to submit its change proposal within the time specified. If the Project Manager decides not to issue an amendment or change after requesting a proposal from the Contractor, the Contractor will be notified in writing. The Contractor is not entitled to reimbursement for Change Order preparation costs if the Contractor’s proposal is not accepted by the Project Manager.

12.04 If the Contractor agrees with the terms and conditions of the approved Change

Order, the Contractor shall indicate its acceptance by signing the original copy and returning it to the Project Manager within 10 Work Days after receipt or with reasonable promptness and in such sequence as to not delay the Work or activities of the District or of separate contractors, whichever is sooner. If notice of any change is required to be given to a surety by the provisions of any bond, the Contractor shall provide notice and the amount of each applicable bond shall be adjusted separately. Payment in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the executed Change Order shall constitute full compensation for all Work included in the Change Order and the District will be released from any and all claims for direct, indirect, and impact expenses and additional time impact resulting from the Work. If the Contractor disagrees with the terms and conditions of the approved Change Order, the Contractor shall indicate specific areas of disagreement and return the approved Change Order to the Project Manager with a

Page 22: Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District · 24/04/2018  · 4.01 The services sought by this RFP include all necessary to purchase, services construct, deliver to site, erect, and

19 | P a g e

detailed written dispute. No payment will be made on the disputed work until the approved Change Order is returned to the Project Manager. However, whether or not the Contractor agrees with the terms and conditions of an approved Change Order, the Contractor shall immediately revise its sequence of operations as required to facilitate timely completion of the changed work and shall proceed with the revised work sequence.

12.05 The Project Manager may, after having received a written cost quotation from the

Contractor, order the Contractor, in writing, to proceed with the work prior to issuance of an approved Change Order through a change directive. The change directive will authorize the Contractor to proceed with the work subject to the cost quotation submitted by the Contractor. Within five days following receipt of the change directive, the Contractor shall submit a detailed change proposal documenting the amount of compensation. An approved Change Order shall supersede any previously issued written change directive covering the same Work.

13.0 EFFECT OF EXTENSIONS OF TIME

13.01 The granting, or acceptance, of extensions of time to complete the Work or furnish the labor, supplies, materials or equipment, or any one of the aforementioned, will not operate as a release of Contractor or the surety on Contractor’s faithful performance bond.

14.0 DELAYS AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

14.01 The Contractor shall take reasonable precautions to foresee and prevent delays to the Work. When the Contractor foresees a delay event, and upon the occurrence of a delay event, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Project Manager of the probability or the actual occurrence of a delay, and its cause. With respect to all delays, the Contractor shall reschedule the Work and revise its operations, to the extent possible, to mitigate the effects of the delay. Within 15 days from the beginning of a delay, the Contractor shall provide the Project Manager with a detailed written description of the delay, its cause, its impact and the Contractor’s mitigation plans. Failure to provide the notification required above waives the Contractor’s right to any additional time resulting from the delay for whatever cause. The Project Manager will investigate the facts and ascertain the extent of the delay, and the Project Manager’s findings thereon shall be final and conclusive, except in the case of gross error. An extension of time must be approved by the Project Manager to be effective, but an extension of time, whether with or without consent of the sureties, shall not release the sureties from their obligations, which shall remain in full force until the discharge of the contract.

14.02 District and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence and District will suffer

financial loss if the Work is not complete within the time specified above, plus any extensions thereof allowed. If the Contractor fails to perform the Work within the specified time set forth in this agreement as adjusted pursuant to 14.01, the District and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages, and not as a penalty, for delay in performance the Contractor shall pay the District in the amount of three-hundred dollars ($300) for each and every calendar day that expires after May 01, 2019 where the Work is not complete and ready for Final Payment. The District shall have the right to deduct liquidated damages from any amount due or that may become due to

Page 23: Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District · 24/04/2018  · 4.01 The services sought by this RFP include all necessary to purchase, services construct, deliver to site, erect, and

20 | P a g e

the Contractor, or to collect such liquidated damages from the Contractor or the Surety.

14.03 Such damages are uncertain in amount and difficult to measure and prove accurately. By executing this Contract, the Contractor agrees that the liquidated damages specified herein are reasonable in amount and are not disproportionate to actual anticipated damages. Liquidated damages do not include any sums of money to reimburse the District for extra costs, which the District may become obligated to pay on other contracts, which are delayed or extended because of Contractor's failure to complete the Work within the time period as specified herein, including costs associated with the delay or interference with the Project. Liquidated damages are not intended to include litigation costs or attorney fees incurred by the District, or other incidental or consequential damages suffered by the District due to the Contractor's performance. If the District charges liquidated damages to the Contractor, this shall not preclude the District from commencing an action against the Contractor for other actual harm resulting from the Contractor's performance, including but not limited to, costs associated with the delay or interference with the Project.

14.04 In order to recover liquidated damages, the District is under no obligation to

prove the actual damages sustained by the District due to the Contractor's delay in performance. The parties agree that liquidated damages shall be computed at the agreed upon rate for each and every calendar day late as identified in 14.02.

14.05 The liquidated damages herein specified shall only apply to Contractor's delay in

performance. Liquidated damages are intended only to compensate the District for additional personnel efforts in administering the Contract after normally scheduled completions dates, District inconvenience, lost opportunities, and lost confidence in government and morale of government when work is not completed on time.

15.0 TERMINATION

15.01 The District may terminate the Contractor’s right to proceed under the Contract, in whole or in part, for cause at any time after the occurrence of any of the following events, each of which constitutes a default:

a. The Contractor becomes insolvent or files for relief under the bankruptcy laws of the United States.

b. The Contractor makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or fails to pay its debts as the same become due.

21 | P a g e

cure; the District does not accept the Contractor’s plan for curing its default;, or the Contractor does not fully carry out an accepted plan to cure.

i. The Contractor materially fails to meet its obligations in accordance with the Contract Documents.

j. The Contractor is in default of any other material obligation under the Contract Documents.

15.02 If any of the above events occur, the District may, in its discretion, require that the

Contractor submit a written plan to cure its default, which plan must be provided to the District within 5 business days of the request and must include a realistic, executable plan for curing the noted defaults.

15.03 Upon any of the occurrences referred to in 15.01, the District may, at its election

and by notice to the Contractor, terminate the Contract in whole or in part; accept the assignment of any or all of the subcontracts; and then complete the Work by any method the District may deem expedient. If requested by the District, the Contractor shall remove any part or all of the Contractor's materials, supplies, equipment, tools, and machinery from the site of the Work within seven (7) days of such request; and, if the Contractor fails to do so, the District may remove or store, and after 90 days sell, any of the same at the Contractor's expense.

15.04 No termination or action taken by the District after termination shall prejudice any

other rights or remedies of the District provided by law or by the Contract Documents.

16.0 TERMINATION BY THE DISTRICT FOR CONVENIENCE

16.01 The District may, at its option, and for its convenience, terminate the Contract at any time by giving written notice to the Contractor specifying the effective date of termination.

b. Previously unpaid costs of any items delivered to the project site that were already fabricated for subsequent incorporation into the Work.

c. Any proven losses with respect to materials and equipment directly resulting from the termination.

d. Reasonable demobilization costs.

performance is prevented or delayed by an event including an irresistible, superhuman cause, or by the act of public enemies of the State of California or of the United States (“Force Majeure”) , the Contractor will be paid for Work performed prior to the Force Majeure event at either (i) the unit prices named in the Contract; or (ii) in the event no unit prices are named, a sum equal to the percentage of the total contract amount that matches the percentage of the total contract Work performed prior to the Force Majeure event.
